What's next? How did you get chosen so easily?

When Yan Fang's mind was still dizzy, Lu Sanlang had already begun to report the next candidate in a hurry. Born in the same account as Yan Fang, the owner was framed and lost his property, because he would not welcome the new owner, and he was jealous of some shopkeepers, he went out to try the official examination but was squeezed out by people with backgrounds - of course, that was before Wang Jie became the Yin of Shuntian Mansion.

In addition to these resumes, Lu Saburo also emphasized the outstanding ability and good conduct of people, and there is no doubt that his second candidate was once again approved by Zhang Shou's nod. And then, when he was out of the limelight, he asked Qi Liang to come forward to introduce the remaining two people of the first batch of lists.

The two candidates that Qi Liang said were the so-called newcomers in the plan he proposed before to bring the old with the new - in fact, the new is not new, compared to his and Deng Xiaodu's age, these two people are in their early twenties, and they are scholars, and arithmetic is just their hobby. As for the talent, it goes without saying that he can be admitted to Jiuzhangtang and persevere in the rapid teaching progress of Jiuzhangtang.

Immediately after, Lu Saburo and Qi Liang took turns to introduce the next second, third, and fourth batches. Just took advantage of the time when he was watching the play in Gefu before, he and Qi Liang came up with a total of sixteen people.

For such a result, Zhang Shou had already expected it. Lu Sanlang is a top shrewd person, and although Qi Liang is from the countryside and slightly less knowledgeable, he is also serious and cautious, which just complements each other. Just looking at the list they discussed, he knew that under Wang Jie's hands, these people would definitely be able to make the best use of their talents.

At that moment, he nodded with a smile and said, "This list is well chosen, it seems that I don't need to say anything more." Having said that, Lu Sanlang, Xiao Qi and Xiao Deng have all gone, don't you, the head of Jiuzhangtang, want to help a gang of Wang Dayin? ”

I don't want to serve that black-faced king! With such a difficult boss, I was definitely trained all day long, but I was often thankless, and maybe I had to think hard about how to deal with those local snakes...... I'm not going to do it!

Lu Saburo thought so in his heart, but a very sincere smile appeared on his face: "Teacher, of course I, the chief of the fast, am willing to take everyone with me, but I am the son of Shangshu, and I should not compete with others for this kind of opportunity, for them, this is a turning point in life." Besides, you need a helper by your side, don't you? Xiao Qi and I both went, what should I do with Jiuzhangtang? ”

Pompous! Hypocrisy! Shameless! Zhang Chen scolded the pretentious Lu Sanlang in his heart, however, when he saw that among the prisoners of Jiuzhangtang around Lu Sanlang and behind him, there were many people who were moved, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Can you buy people's hearts with just a few words? These guys are too easy to deceive!

Compared with Zhang Chen, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu glanced at each other, but the two brothers felt at the same time that even if they had attached great importance to Lu Sanlang in the past, this kind of attention was far from enough! Not to mention anything else, Zhang Chen and the two of them combined, their influence in Banshan Hall is definitely not as high as Lu Sanlang! Of course, this is because the children of the noble students in the Mid-Levels Hall are not easy to deceive, but do they have such intentions for others as Lu Saburo?

Of course, Zhang Shou would not be moved by Lu Sanlang casually, and smiled when he heard this: "Your humble mind to give up opportunities is very valuable, but you must know that this is not only an opportunity, but also an experience." Even if Wang Dayin goes to Xuanda this time, maybe everyone in the Jiuzhang Hall can't all rotate over there to practice and study, but I also plan to find some other opportunities for you to go to actual combat. So ......"

Zhang Shou dragged a long note, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Deng is a person directly under Wang Dayin, he does not belong to Jiuzhangtang, and these four groups of people who went to Jiuzhangtang, Lu Sanlang, as the chief of Zhai, you have to lead the team at least once, otherwise in the future, won't others laugh at you for only knowing how to talk on paper?" Needless to say, you will lead the team in the third batch, and it will be decided. ”

I don't want to! Lu Saburo suddenly wailed in his heart. Even if he didn't wade into troubled waters at the beginning, he really didn't want to leave the comfort zone of the capital! If he can make money, ponder the scriptures well, and enjoy the happiness of the people who once despised him, wouldn't it be much better than following Wang Datou to charge into battle?

However, under Zhang Shou's gaze, the little fat man still bowed his head aggrievedly. But when Zhang Shou turned his head to look at Zhang Chen and the others, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu on the other side were fine, but Zhang Chen looked at himself with a gloating gaze, he suddenly hated itchy, and couldn't help but think in his heart, how to pit Zhang Chen next!

Want to see my jokes? How can it be so cheap!

Zhang Shou saw that Zhang Chen instinctively sat upright under his gaze, and so did Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, and he couldn't help but think of the first time the trio came to Cuiyun. Although it was only half a year, it seemed like a long time ago. He coughed lightly, and then asked, "Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu, do you have a plan for going to Xingtai?" ”

Why did Mr. Little ask that? Although it was indeed surprising that the emperor asked them to go to Xingtai, hadn't he discussed with them before, how to roll out the promotion plan? Lu Saburo was also present at the time! Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu had such a thought almost at the same time, but when they saw Lu Sanlang squeezing his eyes at them, they couldn't help but immediately wake up.

At that moment, Zhang Wu smiled and said: "When it happened suddenly, we were not prepared...... And the eldest prince went to Cangzhou, and we went to Xingtai, no matter how it sounded, it was like fighting with him, so we didn't have any confidence in our hearts. The emperor said that although he wanted someone to speak, we didn't know who was more capable, and we weren't sure that people would listen to us. ”

Zhang Shou saw that Zhang Wu deliberately pretended not to understand anything, so he smiled and looked at the others in Banshan Hall: "Which of the rest of you is willing to help Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu?" ”

As soon as he said this, after Lu Chan conveyed the appointment, he had surrounded Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, hoping to be taken away, and the children of the nobles immediately became commotion. After a while, someone stepped forward and said: "Mr. Xiao, my mother is from Xingtai, I think I can help!" ”

recognized that this was Hu Kai, an inconspicuous prison student in the Mid-Levels Hall, as for his grandfather, it was quite famous, it was Hu Shilang of the Chao Household Department, Ge Yong's student Hu Shangshu's deputy, and Zhang Shou asked with great interest at the moment: "Oh, it turns out that you want to use the Township Party to help Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, tell me, what are your specific thoughts?" ”

Hearing what specific thoughts he had, Hu Kai was stunned for a moment. He only thought that his mother was from Xingtai and had such an advantage, where could he talk about any ideas?

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel that Zhang Shou's smiling gaze was a little sharp, and he stumbled for a while before he stumbled: "I think that when Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu arrive in Xingtai, they should first subdue the magistrate, and then have a good relationship with the local gentry......"

Although he racked his brains, he could only come up with a plan to promote from top to bottom, and he couldn't help but be a little frustrated when he saw Zhang Shou finally motioning for him to sit down. And with such a failed example of his, there are far fewer other people who try to take the initiative to ask for help. Even if someone volunteered, they were defeated by Zhang Shou's unhurried few problems.

However, in the end, Zhang Shou still smiled and nodded to Hu Kai and Zou Mingyu, the nephew of the other servant Siqing, who spoke in an orderly manner, and ordered them to go with him to help Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu. But when they were ecstatic, he poured a basin of cold water on them.

"The so-called plan you just now probably came up with a pat on the head, and it is not feasible. In Gefu before, Mr. Ge was very pleased that his disciples and grandchildren could contribute to the country at a young age, and he promised to recommend a few available people, and by the way, he instructed his protégés to take care of one or two, so as not to turn blind for those of you who go out for the first time. ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Kai and Zou Mingyu's last bit of unconvincing was suddenly thrown to Java. Offending the teacher may only be difficult to move an inch in the mid-mountain hall, but if the ancestor Ge Yong thinks that these two apprentices and grandchildren are not successful, it will really be difficult to move an inch in the entire officialdom in the future! Therefore, the two of them quickly agreed without saying a word, and then sat down.

And Zhang Shou had just drawn a big pie for the other inmates in Jiuzhang Hall, and now he was naturally encouraged by the more inmates in the Mid-Levels Hall who were hoping to impress their families and friends, and at the same time promised that there would be other opportunities in the future.

In the past, it was inevitable that some people would think that he was just a hollow gnocchi.

However, tonight I was taken to this former Luwang Courtyard, where countless dignitaries secretly coveted the mansion that they did not dare to make up their minds because of the emperor, and saw that the earth dragon was burning warm like spring in this place where there was no one to descend, the fire was burning on the stove, and there was water in the teapot and water tank, as if the master was still there, and most of the prisoners' awe of Zhang Shou suddenly deepened.

Therefore, seeing that the night was getting darker, Zhang Shou finished saying everything again, and naturally some people asked to leave one after another. And this time, Zhang Shou took the initiative to ask people to bring those prisoners from Jiuzhangtang. So I brought two or three of them, and in a moment, this untitled hall, which had just been lively and lively, gradually seemed empty.

Lu Sanlang finally waited until the idlers and others were almost gone, and seeing that Zhang Chen was still sitting there silently, he smiled and said, "Zhang Chen, I didn't expect you to be so honest today." Why don't you speak? You, the head of the Mid-Levels Hall, are not an example! ”

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" Zhang Chen patted the handrail and got up angrily, but said to Zhang Shou with a cold face, "Mr. Xiao, I am not as thoughtful as Lu San and Qi Liang, and I don't know much about the textile machine before, so I can't come up with any good ideas." You discuss this matter with Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, and I will leave! ”

Seeing that Zhang Chen arched his hand, and turned around and walked out, Zhang Shou gently knocked on the handrail for a while, and then shouted: "If you just leave like this, do you believe that Lu Sanlang will spread it around, saying that you, the head of the Banshan Hall, are not as good as him, the head of the Jiuzhang Hall?" ”

Zhang Chen stood up suddenly, but he still didn't look back and said stiffly: "If he wants to talk nonsense, just let him be!" ”

Lu Sanlang was about to continue to open the damage, but he saw Zhang Shou slanting at him, and then he reluctantly closed his mouth. In the early years, it was all Zhang Chen who bullied him as the only son of Qin Guogong, but now he has easily relied on his wisdom to turn the situation back, why should he let Zhang Chen!

stopped Lu Sanlang from continuing to expand the situation, and Zhang Shou said unhurriedly: "Before, I asked Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu to open a weaving and dyeing workshop, and by the way, I made the matter of the textile machine, and let Lu Sanlang come forward to take care of the matter, not only you, but Zhu Er did not get involved." ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou finally noticed him, Zhu Er suddenly said resentfully: "Finally remember me...... After all, we will all be a family in the future, can we not be so favoritous? ”

"It's not about favoritism. I used to think about slaughtering a big man casually, but I didn't expect to hook a bold second prince, but it attracted a big prince who was insatiable. A new-style textile machine, the whole pit into the two princes in front of the preface, so now that I think about it, it is right not to let Zhang Chen and Zhu Er go to troubled waters. ”

Zhang Chen's face suddenly turned black and turned around: "What, do you think I'm cowardly and afraid?" ”

"No, I just thought that you and Zhu Er were not short of money at first." Zhang Shou said a sentence with a smile, and when he saw Zhu Er's mouth wide open, he almost cried that he was very short of money, but Zhang Chen was full of disbelief, so he said indifferently, "Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu will only have the little property that their sons share equally in the future, maybe they will have to gnaw on their daughter-in-law's dowry for a living, so they will naturally lack money." ”

As for Lu Sanlang, his father doesn't like him, and his mother can't give him all the family property, and he is engaged and waiting to marry his daughter-in-law, of course, he also needs money. However, he is the big man with the most money in the private house among the few of you, and he is a well-known prodigal son who turned into a genius, I need him to contribute, and I need him to contribute, so of course I have to pull him. ”

Hearing Zhang Shou say so bluntly, Zhang Chen's face suddenly softened a little, but he still said stiffly: "That means that if I can't contribute money and effort, I'm useless?" ”

"At least until the previous textile machine drawings are dedicated to the emperor, you really won't be useful."

Seeing that Zhang Chen's face suddenly turned into the color of the bottom of the pot, Zhang Shou laughed and said, "Can you use the excuse of pleasing the princess and the county lord's daughter-in-law to open a weaving and dyeing workshop?" Or can you pull down your face and ask a group of spinners to come over and do things at a high price? Or is it like Lu Saburo who is ashamed to fool the prince and say that this new textile machine is made by him, seducing people to spend a lot of money to buy it? ”

"Zhang Chen, you are a proud but righteous person in your bones, and you can't do what they can do. Therefore, I don't know whether the matter of letting Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu go to Xingtai to promote textile machinery was recommended by others or decided by the emperor himself. But in my opinion, this is a better thing for you to do. Because, only those who dare to lift the lid of the seaside camp can deal with those wealthy families! ”

Zhang Chen's hazy face cleared up little by little, but he still couldn't help but say: "But now the emperor has ordered Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu...... Even if I, Zhang Chen, have no interest, I won't rob them of errands! ”

Seeing that Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu were not angry because he had underestimated them in his words just now, Zhang Shou nodded to the two of them, and then said with a smile: "There is a way, Ming Xiu plank road, secretly cross Chen Cang, don't you think, they are very suitable for repairing the plank road, you are very suitable for crossing Chen Cang?" Or do you really want to work hard to master the eight strands of literature and come back with a top prize in the future? ”
